[Avid-L2] Re: Don't get burned on digital cut tip. Sony deck aborts edit but Avid marches on.

 

I've had it happen in digibeta, SRW-5500, not sure of UVW-1800. It is really not a function of which deck it is a function of the Avid not caring whether the record deck goes into record or not and then the Sony decks, many different models, recue and remake the edit while the timeline has been rolling along during the recue time as if the record happened the first time. This doesn't happen often but I've seen it several times. I just happened to be in a room where I wasn't set up to monitor the record output during digital cut. I had feed the record machine straight to the Ultrascope but for the 9 seconds of recue I didn't notice it on the waveform because I was checking the slate info which was a lot of text. Once I discovered the error I made sure to dig up a 2nd composite monitor and feed it the super output of the record machine. Believe me it happens so just make sure to spot check or demand proper monitoring. This is the kind of thing that can lose clients in a hurry in this day and age of no one else in the room with me and sending things straight off to dubbing etc.... without a QC viewing. As I think about it I'm going to check with Sony to see if there is a way to disable the automatic recue and reedit function. If that could be disabled then at least it wouldn't make a bad recording.
